Final Script 🧾

 Upon informing the cast about our shooting schedule, we found out that Hussain Rizvi, who was meant to play the main leads dad, is not going to be in the country until the 6th of January. We were originally planning on killing him off, but we have been attempting to begin filming, first without a schedule, and then with a schedule but some of the cast was not cooperating with us. We cannot force them, as they're doing us a favor by taking part in this film but it definitely got to us. The four of us decided to meet, and as we got into a slight argument about what to do, we all managed to agree on one thing. The script did not make sense.

Our original idea was well constructed, however, as we started to script it, and as we started to add cast members, and even gained a group member, there were too many inputs being given. Even as we were trying to fix a schedule, there was not a single scene that the 4 of us were on the same page about. We all had different ideas on how the story went, despite having the same script, and though it is usually the directors decision, we did not want to compromise our grade. 

When we came to this realization, we decided to brainstorm another idea. We have definitely started late, due to our schedule clash, but we decided that rather than repeatedly disagreeing, and getting into arguments we should work together to try and solve it. As we came up with an idea we all agreed on, we scripted it down, this time keeping the locations, and characters in mind. We each explained the scenes in our head as we went on, and ended up coming up with a horror film opening, which in our opinion, works better than the first. The cliffhanger is clearer, and we are all on the same page this time, as this time we were all present for the script writing.

Our director will redo the story board, as i make our mood board. School starts again on the 6th, so we will try to finish the recording, and voiceovers withing the next week. If the actors still give us trouble, we may end up replacing them, but hopefully from now on everything will go smoothly.

Finalized Cast 🎭

 During a discussion, we realized that our cast had so many last minute changes that we completely forgot to post a blog for them. In he end we had to work with what we had, remove people in some scenes due to availability, and even cramp up some of the filming in a couple of hours. Now that we have everything set, we decided to post for our final cast and their roles. 1. Humna Mansoor Main Character 2. Hussain Rizvi Roommate 1 3. Aliza (Our Color Grader and Sound Editor) Roommate 2 4. Ibrahim Saqib Roommate 3

Back to Square 1 😭

 We showed our teacher the completed film, and he informed us that it wouldn't get a grade higher than a C. After all the work we put in to get to this point, hearing this almost completely crushed us. We asked if there was anyway to improve it, and he advised us to reshoot it. This wasn't an option for us, because we only have until Friday, and our cast members cant come over anymore due to the CIES approaching. We went back to the drawing board because no matter how stressed we were, we weren't going to let our efforts go to waste. We went through several different storylines, and came up with some good ones, however none of them could get completed before the due date. We settled on one idea, and will try to get people to act in it.

Introduction ♡

Hello. I'm Mishel Ali and I attend Islamabad College of Arts and Sciences (ICAS) as a media student. I took Media Studies as I knew it would help me in my daily life. I've also always been c aptivated by the subject but haven't yet had the opportunity to pursue it so I thought this was the best scenario. Though I was part of our school media team for a year, I couldn't do much due to my lack of experience, as well as knowledge on  how to do it well. I'm excited to learn about the various aspects of videography such as, using a green screen, editing, camera angles, etc.
